Whiplash muscle and ligament injuries
Muscles and ligaments are over stretched and damaged. While muscles heal, ligaments never recover making it a serious injury. Your spine is less stable and arthritis risk is 600% more with weakened ligaments, .

Disc injuries
The intervertebral discs between each spinal bone that act as spacers and shock absorbs of the spine, can become torn after a collision. It may take some time for the damage to surface, but eventually the discs will leak out fluids and begin to herniate outward towards your nerves and spinal cord causing nerve problems.

Nerve injuries
The nerves can be compressed or stretched in a motor vehicle collision causing weakness, numbness and tingling sensations. Injury to your brain is common; concussions occur in approximately half of all accidents.
